Welcome back!

Seattle Rep was born of the 1962 World's Fair—when the original Playhouse was constructed at Seattle Center—and to this day, the theater continues to be forward-thinking. It's quick to bring cutting-edge contemporary plays to the stage (Broadway's All the Way, the Bryan Cranston-as-LBJ hit, was workshopped here) and give local writers a voice with its New Works program. It also has a storied past: a 19-year-old Richard Gere cut his teeth in the repertory from 1969–70, and a young Christopher Walken starred in Hamlet four years before he stirred audiences in The Deer Hunter.
